question about mysql-server.sh

[Ed Stover]

rcsubr is the culprit, when you added the line in the rc.conf then all
was well. You can add a line in the rc.conf and then run
the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start command with out having to
reboot.
Personally I really dislike rcsubr, makes me think that FreeBSD is
drifting toward linux's overly comlexness... a script to start a script
that starts a script that starts a script, blah blah blah....
